This story is about a time when I almost paid a high price for free internet access. This is the tale of the Wi-Fi trap. I was traveling for work, waiting at the airport for my flight, when I realized I needed to send a few important emails. The airport’s Wi-Fi was available, but it required payment. However, as I looked through the list of available networks, I saw one labeled ‘Free Airport Wi-Fi.’ It had a strong signal, and the word ‘free’ was hard to resist. I connected to the network and started working, feeling pleased with my savvy find.
